Ohio made the cardinal its state bird in 1933, by which point the choice was obvious: nothing else keeps this much color through a Lake Erie winter. Audubon painted the pair in the 1820s under the older name — Cardinal Grosbeak — the male blazing, the female in her quieter copper. The bird at your feeder, as the nineteenth century saw him.

Source: Audubon, The Birds of America, 1827–1838.

Available at 12×18 and 18×24. This plate is not offered at 24×36: the surviving original does not carry enough detail to print honestly at that size.
